What barrel length does your gun have ?

What weight in lbs is your gun ?

500 Nitro

Barrel is 24" and Normal load for .500 Jeffery is 2400 fps.
I shot the ammo yesterday and they where perfect No sticky extraction and no feeding problems.
I shot a full magazine 4+1 and then 3 shot groups.
All 21 cartridges was shot in about 30 min.
Recoil was normal and no problem.
I have no chrono sorry Will have next time.
My rifle weighs 5,6kg with full magazine and no scope.

Cheers,

André
